This past Friday, we filmed Veronica Narang and Colin Cameron together in the closing sequence for No Sleep for Ronni. The outdoor shoot ran from 8:30 pm until midnight, and the evening weather was perfect.

The small but mobile gorilla crew included Ivy Suryana as script supervisor, Nicholas Wootton on sound, Jill Wootton was the portable-light grip, and Robert shot camera and directed.

The closer it came to midnight, the more loose we all seemed to get. Night shoots can be such fun! Although the mosquitoes seemed unaffected by bug spray and had themselves a field day at our expense.

This past Wednesday, we had our first day of production on the No Sleep for Ronni movie. The "clinical" scenes were filmed downtown at the Madison Senior Center.

Veronica Narang plays Ronni, a woman with a bit of a problem.

A short rehearsal of a few lines...

The medical staff included actors Tim Towne and Colin Cameron, along with Ivy Suryana, Bahee Sathasivam, and Reonda Washington.

Robert directed, Erik Witt was on camera, DW Wanberg on boom, Bryan Fay and Colin Cameron monitored the audio. In
addition to acting, Ivy Suryana had the dual role of script supervisor and clapper. And Colin's producer skills came in handy several times throughout the shoot.

The World Naked Bike Ride has thousands of participants in cities like Portland and Seattle. In Madison, it's just catching on. Friend and fellow filmmaker, Nicholas Wootton (of Windmiller Media), is one of the event's supporters and so asked Robert to shoot some 2nd camera footage of yesterday's ride.

We have to say that we've never seen any event have the kind of positive effect on people as this one did. There's nothing like a bunch of naked people riding down the middle of the street to get bystanders who are complete strangers to laugh and talk with each other.

Pre-production is underway on our short narrative, No Sleep for Ronni. The script came together rather quickly after some major changes to our original idea We're really liking what it's become. Our star, Veronica Narang, who plays almost every character in the film, is going to have fun with this one. And so are we.

A collage of images found online to give our costume designers an idea of what we're looking for.

The film's co-stars--Tim Towne, Colin Cameron, Ivy Suryana, and two yet-to-be-named actors--will have small but critical roles in the story.

The Latest on Our Films

We've been working for over seven years on a documentary about an autistic boy and his attraction to Disney's Snow White. The project is currently well into the editing stage but more interviews are still to be completed.

Also in the editing stage is Strindberg's Assistant. It's a fictional story set in both 1910 Stockholm and modern day America--and yes, there are ghosts. More scenes are needed to be shot for this one too.

Another narrative short in is No Sleep For Ronni, a sci-fi/fantasy flick about a woman with an over-active "dream state". While most of the movie is shot, once again there are still more scenes to be filmed.
